4		-eMagiz runtimes can run on local, on-premises servers. The main reason is that some systems are only accessible within the client's infrastructure. In such a scenario, the on-premises server must have a Docker installation before you can communicate between your on-premise server and eMagiz.

	5	+In the previous microlearning, we discussed what situation that failover mode will be beneficial as well as the settings that need to be configured in the Design phase. Next to that, we also discussed that setting up this failover functionality in your model requires you to first execute some steps in your Design, Create, and lastly Deploy phase. Picking up from what we have discussed previously in the Design phase, in this microlearning, we will focus on configuring your setup in the Create phase if you want to activate the active/passive failover configuration.

14		-This microlearning describes how the eMagiz Deploy agent is installed on the on-premises server where an eMagiz runtime should run. The eMagiz Deploy agent requires a valid Docker installation on the on-premises server. The detailed install guide can be found in this [[microlearning>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Expert Level.Solution Architecture.expert-solution-architecture-onpremises-server-linux-installguide.WebHome||target="blank"]] for **Linux** and in this [[microlearning>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Expert Level.Solution Architecture.expert-solution-architecture-onpremises-server-windows-installguide.WebHome||target="blank"]] for **Windows**.
	15	+This microlearning describes what configuration that you will have to do in the Create phase, based on what you have configured in the Design phase, to enable failover for systems connecting with your model. The grouping and failover functionality is relevant when faced with maintenance and outages of systems connected to your model. The failover functionality assists in that case and allows you to have a fallback option on an active connection.

18		-eMagiz needs to install a specific agent in the Docker instance that allows the downloading of runtime images that need to be installed on the Docker instance. The exact command to run inside the Docker instance is specific for the machine configured inside eMagiz Design & Deploy Architectures. It can be found inside the eMagiz iPaaS portal under Deploy Architecture. The runtime connector has a right-click option called Deploy Agent.

22		-When choosing this option, you will see the following pop-up (assuming the machine still needs to be configured). In this pop-up, you must choose between Linux and Windows as OS. Depending on the server OS you previously installed Docker, you must select Linux or Windows.

26		-Once you have selected the correct OS for you, the next step is to press "Save." This action will lead you to another pop-up showing the command that needs to be executed (with administrator rights) on the host machine. This way, the deploy agent is activated on the host machine.

	29	+Once the previous step is done, the next step is to configure your Design>Architecture. Here, you first need to "Start Editing" and then press "Apply settings" on your bottom left corner. Afterward, you will be faced with a pop-up page informing you that failover will be enabled on the system connector containers that you have previously toggled in Design>Solution Design (see the screenshot below as an example).

30		-Once the agent is installed, eMagiz can manage the machine to deploy new runtimes or update runtimes as needed. Also, the container runtime can be controlled with start, stop, and reset commands. Please consult this [[microlearning>>doc:Main.eMagiz Academy.Microlearnings.Intermediate Level.eMagiz Runtime Management.intermediate-emagiz-runtime-management-interpret-on-premise-logging.WebHome||target="blank"]] to inspect the on-premises runtime logs.

	41	+* Grouping is beneficial when external systems go through maintenance or downtime.
	42	+* Failover can have the additional benefit of having a fallback scenario while still adhering to the requirement that there can only be one active connection at a time.
	43	+* The role naming in both grouping and failover is crucial. The whole name needs to be matched fully to make it work.
	44	+* For the infra configuration of the failover setup, we have a store item that you can use.
